<<"The screenshot above hints at what that might look like. I grabbed it from this YouTube help page for Google Moderator on YouTube. It shows the channel settings for a YouTube content producer (in this case, obviously someone who works for YouTube). The last button, which I’ve circled above, is for “Live Stream.”>>

DPicI guess the service will be offered to premium partners at first, and without deep integration with other Google products. But it will be rolled out to everyone, a Gmail/Talk-Youtube feature would be great.

I wonder how users will notify their friends (I prefer the term "followers") about upcoming live streams...

Google needs an open, cross-services notification system. When Google Docs enabled the public sharing of documents, we asked for a notification feature in Google Talk to know about our friends' updates in real-time blogoscoped.com/forum/143782.h ... . Google didn't make one for Docs, because "email works" I guess, but as they start to benefit from the "follow model" with Youtube's subscriptions, Picasa's favorites and Buzz's followers, I'm sure they'll do their best to aggregate... oh, wait! google.com/buzz/11737743481570 ...
